16 October, 2020 was supposed to be the year for change to occur and for everyone to have a chance at a fresh start. Unfortunately, 2020 only lived up to the first part of that statement, and it wasn’t anywhere close to the change we were expecting. Two articles that I believe are relevant to what is going on in today’s world are ‘Deeply Affected by the Pandemic, Youth Are Committed to Helping Others’ by Kristian Lundberg and Rey Junco...

Despite the thousands of years that separate Aristotle and Confucius from Martin Seligman and Sonja Lyubormirsky, they all highlight that the key aspect to achieving happiness is helping others. They all state that helping others increases our own happiness levels due to the feeling of helpfulness and knowing that we are using the skills and knowledge we have to aid someone. According to Lyubormirsky’s study, ‘Count Your Blessings’, by recapping your recent experiences of someone helping you or you helping...

The Gospel of Matthew and Isaiah both share the same theme of doing good things for people in order to receive the ultimate gift: the light shines on you. Christians have to listen to God in order to allow the light to be shined on them. According to Christians, without having faith in God nothing will work out for you. Jesus tells us that we are the salt and light of our world and that we can only shine if...

My interest in helping others and social work has not appeared from nowhere. I have only a few clear memories from my early childhood, and one of them is when me and my parents were standing on the crosswalk and suddenly saw a couple of street dogs. One of them was really nice and it seemed like not far ago it was a favorite home pet of someone. But at the moment when I saw them, they were looking just...

Over a truly amazing span, we as a whole commit errors. Also, regularly we underestimate what we have, imagining that possibly we merit what we as of now have, or accepting that we won't ever require anybody to help or help us free from troublesome and testing times. Such was the case of a friend of mine who had an incredible work, a decent house, and all she required. She was, however, not a caring individual for a few reasons....

“People are more willing to give when they see generosity as part of who they are” – Dr. Summer Allen. Helping others is something inherent within each person, which gives anyone the desire to always strive to do good and spread it. Volunteering work, supportive actions or words, and even unplanned acts can do the biggest changes. It can also reflect positively on others’ lives. Moreover, all these initiatives, whether it is too small or big, still can boost the...

Caring about other people and their feelings can turn out to be a really good situation or a bad situation. It can be a great situation because you can end up helping the person and making them feel better, but it can be a bad situation because you can end up getting in their business and they start to dislike you. Even though you are doing a good deed and thinking that you are helping that person out with their...

The cons of being an RN are long work shifts, evaluating patient orders, and not always being able to give them the medications or requests that they want. The pros of being a Mental Health Counselor are a good salary, helping others with any sort of mental health issue, and coming up...

A study conducted by Harvard, states that sympathy is profoundly established in human instinct it has a natural premise in the cerebrum and body. We help each other in light of various reasons. A few people help since they just can't not to support others on the off chance that they need assistance.

We consider the word ‘No’ predominantly as a symbol of self-respect and discipline, which is right. Most people think it’s a difficult word to vocalize but saying ‘Yes’ is often harder than saying ‘No’ because it’s a verbal devotion to be an active contributor. ‘No’ easily transitions into a slippery slope of plans never fulfilled and good intentions never achieved. It gives the illusion of total empowerment, while it really acts as an excuse. As I was born in Ngozi,...

Jenny Santi in her article ‘The Secret to Happiness Is Helping Others’ states that helping others may seem like it doesn’t make a big different on making our lives happier, but it has a huge impact. When it seems as if we are forced to give back to others, it doesn’t make us happy which is why we should never have to feel that. No matter how much we help people, we can guarantee it will make us or them...

For example, let us say there are two different individuals who are suffering from psychological disorders. The first one is Eric. Everyone knows that Eric is strange. He talks back to voices that only he can hear. He thinks that he's being watched and that his opponents are trying to control him with a device they planted in his arm. He also...

I still remember the day of this incident. I was thirteen years’ old then. It was pouring heavily, and I had to go to a nearby store to purchase medicines for my grandmother. As it was raining, I pulled on an overcoat and went out. When I reached the main road, the traffic was heavy, and almost every vehicle is moving bumper-to-bumper. At the zebra crossing, I stood for the lights to go, so that I can cross the road....

However, there are disparate ways for us to help others without spending money: giving blood, donating materials and doing volunteering. Every day in the Canadian Red Cross, people give one unit of blood saves three lives.

The question I have proposed in this essay is whether we are obligated to help random people if it is in our power to prevent something bad, and if we do not, in general, sacrifice ourselves or injure ourselves. In his essay ‘Famine, Affluence, and Morality’, Peter Singer states: “If it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance, we ought, morally, to do it”. The moral compulsion to help...

Earlier this semester, I took an accelerated course called ‘Introduction to Sociology’ where I learned about the structure and function of human society. Similarly, psychology studies the mind and the behaviors that are associated to our brains. Noticeably, based on their similar objectives of study, there is set to be some overlap of ideas. The main overlap that I have identified from taking this class is the understanding about helping others. A few days ago, I came across an episode...

After producing a diamond ranking of the six possible solutions to poverty it has been decided that helping others through organizations like Rosies and Vinnies, which help homeless and poor people, is the most helpful and affective action to be taken to fix poverty in our society. There are also many other solutions to poverty, such as volunteering overseas and donating clothes to a charity shop, but in terms of usefulness to ‘restore the balance’, helping others through a nearby...

There are many poor people in the world. Although the number of poor people is decreasing, it is still one of the global problems. Poverty does not strike all demographics equally. For example, in 2018, 10.6% of men and 12.9% of women lived in poverty in the USA. Along the same lines, the poverty rate for married couples in 2018 was only 4.7%, but the poverty rate for single-parent families with no wife present was 12.7%, and for single-parent families...
